Hello,

 

when you primed your rudder skins did you tape the edge so that the ProSeal

would stick to the bare metal or just prime the edge too and apply the

ProSeal on top of it?. (I use DuPont 820R Primer in case that matters).

 

Best Regards

Michael

Michael,



I primed the entire skin, then added the proseal.  Remember that the proseal

is only there to help hold things in position for the next steps.  It is not

even needed, and some builders do not use it at all.  Take a look at some of

the web sites for alternative ways of handling trailing edges.  I followed

the instructions and it apparently worked fine.

I didn't ProSeal the rudder at all and I thought it came out fine - albeit 

not perfectly straight. I am going to try the ProSeal on the elevators this 

weekend and see if they come out any straighter.  I'd primer the skins 

without regard to the edges. It's my understanding that the ProSeal is just 

there to temporarily hold things together and to ruin a few clecos 



The one thing I'd say about riveting trailing edges is that I think it's a 

lot easier to just grind down a flat set to match the angle and squeeze them 

rather than back rivet.  As always, your mileage may vary.

There is no need to proseal....all you are doing is adding weight!

Weeeeeellllllllll....maybe,



Proseal is really not needed...but the advantage is when you get ready to prep that trailing edge for paint...the proseal...which takes paint and primer very well fills the rotten ole nasty few thousand of an inch little gaps between the avex wedge and the two skins. Your OK with leaving the AKZO and maybe the SW epoxy primer, wipe off the others with Acetone. The proseal really does help when trying to get a nice "finished" trailing edge. Mine primed great and you can't tell the skins from the wedge....thta's a good enough reason for me to endorse sealing the edges.
